Any reward package for players who completed this month’s absurd EQ?
So I just want to ask, Kabam —will there be any kind of package for players who actually went through this month’s Adaptive EQ on Elder difficulty?
Because, this EQ isn’t “adaptive,” it’s absurdly overtuned. The defenders feel like Everest-level defenders with health pools and attack values way beyond anything reasonable. Add in punishing, unfun interaction nodes, and it’s less “adaptive” and more “unplayable.”
Each fight is 5+ minutes of slogging, 16 fights per quest, burning through revives and potions— for what? Rewards that are barely on par with what we’ve already seen from the Valiant Gauntlet.
At first, I thought players calling this EQ garbage were exaggerating. Then I played it. Turns out, they were being generous. How did this even pass testing from the same team that claims to “keep player experience in mind”?
And look, I get it — mistakes can happen. Maybe the team thought boosts would make these fights go faster, but in practice that clearly hasn’t worked. Instead, it turned into a frustrating slog. When those mistakes translate into pure pain for the players, it only seems fair to compensate the ones who actually pushed through and finished it.
Now, plenty of players are skipping this EQ altogether. But for those of us who went through it, dealing with Kabam’s mistake and carrying the pain, shouldn’t there be something better than these insult-tier rewards?
If next month’s EQ really is going to be “less miserable,” fine. But that doesn’t erase the disaster this one turned out to be. Players who suffered through it deserve acknowledgment— and better rewards than what we got.
